Mr Miller grew up in the pub trade. His parents John and Pat Miller ran The Jolly Sailor in Southsea when he was 10.

‘The pub trade was something I was brought up in and I thought I would make a career of it. I’ve always enjoyed it so I’ve never thought of changing paths. The pub is like one’s home. That’s how you run a successful pub. You have to welcome your guests as if they are walking into your home.’

Before their time in Spain, Mr Miller and Mr Paget ran a pub company called JM Inns, which owned around 20 pubs on the south coast of the UK.

The couple then sold off their business before venturing off abroad. Talking about their decision to return to the UK, Mr Miller said: ‘You just do what you do. We had a great time over there but saw it as the right time to come back. Our time at The Woodmancote has been extremely successful. We don’t have any great plans for the next 12 months.

‘It will just be a case of building up our popularity and continue making the place the best it can possibly be.
